Designated Medical Practitioners

All immigrants and some visitors need to undergo a medical examination before receiving a visa. Citizenship and Immigration Canada has designated certain doctors in each region, who are authorized to perform the immigration medical exams. This page will help you find a doctor you may visit in your country, territory or region.

In Canada, if the nearest Designated Medical Practitioner offering services in your preferred official language is located more than 242 kilometres (150 miles) from where you live, please contact the CIC Call Centre at 1-888-242-2100 to find out how to access immigration medical examination services in your preferred official language.

Please note: Only the names of countries/territories where a Designated Medical Practitioner is available will appear in the menu below. If you do not see your country or territory listed, please select a nearby location to which you can travel.
